One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Pemaquid struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
