One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Sandy Creek battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
