One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in East Templeton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $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. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
