One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Richland who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
