One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Clifford struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
