One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Popejoy battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
