One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Erin who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
