One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mount Jackson who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
