One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Posey battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
