One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Yantis who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. 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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
