One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Dunbar who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
