One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Shelley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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 per month.
