One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Waitsburg struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
