One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Preble who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
