One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Cleveland battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
