One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Fairdale battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
