One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Moody struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
