One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Moody battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
