One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Cataumet battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around 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 dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
