One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Reydon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
