One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Coaling battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given 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 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
