One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Duck Creek Village who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used 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 drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
