One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Ponce De Leon who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which 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 that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
