One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Groveoak who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
