One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Clayton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
