One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Herman who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
