One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Osburn battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
