One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Judith Gap struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
