One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Calvin who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
