One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Shalimar who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
