One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Burr battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
