One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Keaton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
