One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Cherryfield battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
