One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Falling Waters who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication 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 administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
