One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Marbury struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
