One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Vandalia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
