One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Hanna who are struggling 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 of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
