One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Piasa who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
