One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Cushman struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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 an individual 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 /month.
