One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Dingess who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 a month.
