One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Meta who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
