One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Combs who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
