One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Boley who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily 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 every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
