One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Ophiem battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
