One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Willow Park who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
