One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Marysville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
