One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Graytown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
