One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Farley who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
