One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Willow Creek who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
