One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Herculaneum who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around 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 that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
