One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Gibbon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
