One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Tiffin struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
