One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Berea battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
