One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Gadsden battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
