One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Primrose who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
