One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Holstein who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
