One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Garrett who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid 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 approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
