One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Mount Ida battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
