One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Huddleston struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, 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 drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
