One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Metamora who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
