One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Cassville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis 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 unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
