One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Salter Path who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
