One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Ryder who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
