One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Xenia who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel 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 another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling 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.
