One of the outpatient rehab options for people in La Barge battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
