One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Littlerock struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
