One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Belden who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
