One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Clarence battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
