One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Elkhorn City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
