One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Marion battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
