One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Empire battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't 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 licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
