One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Whitewright struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
