One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Strawn battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
