One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Carbon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
