One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Readlyn struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
