One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Blackey battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
