One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Cedar battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
