One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Liebenthal battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
