One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Garrison who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
