One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Erick who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can 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 drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
