One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Ingram battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
