One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Gillsville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is 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 an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
