One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Granby battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
