One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Surry battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used 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 injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
