One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Eldena struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
