One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Raymond struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
