One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Ovando struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
