One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Shorter who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
