One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Tilden struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
