One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Overton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
