One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ringgold who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
