One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Mittie who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
