One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Clayton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, 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 version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
