One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Martin who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
