One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Hathaway battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
