One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hubbard battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per 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 clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
