One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Holcombe who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
