One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Richmond battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
