One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Goodwater struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which 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 too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
