One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Wrights battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
