One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Chadwicks battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
