One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Parrish who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
