One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Anaconda battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
