One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Ava battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
