One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Ralston battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
