One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Naselle struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
