One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Kegley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
