One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Big Springs who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
