One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Chatfield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
