One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Pine who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
