One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Throckmorton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
