One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Weeping Water struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
