One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Hope battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
