One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Blakeslee struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
