One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Clear Fork who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
