One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Chadwick who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
