One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Millican who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
