One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Cragford who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
