One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Talco who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
