One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Goshen battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
