One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Drytown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, 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 dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
