One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Catron struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
