One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Humphreys battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
