One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Delta who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars 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 which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug 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 a month.
