One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Middlebranch battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
