One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Rosser struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
