One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Millsap who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 a month.
