One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Gretna battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that 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 about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
