One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Millport struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
