One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Jonestown struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
