One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Clyde battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
