One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Huffman who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
