One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Strasburg struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid 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, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
