One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Woody Creek struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
