One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Leakey struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
