One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Holy Trinity who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
