One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Branch struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug 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 can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
