One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Lusby battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 around $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 drug as a monthly injection, 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 monthly.
