One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Marion who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
