One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Browder who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
