One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Barlow who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
