One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Vance struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
