One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Etna battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
