One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in West Fork struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /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 opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
