One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Edgemont struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $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 that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
