One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Morning View battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
