One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Rosedale who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
