One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Tigerton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
