One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Green Sulphur Springs who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
