One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Belle Valley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
