One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Sulligent battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
