One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mt Zion struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
