One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Dayton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
