One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Dewitt who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs 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 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 a month.
