One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Loretto who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 is also taken every day, and costs around $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 opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
