One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Clyde struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
