One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Helton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is 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 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
