One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Wellston battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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 a month.
