One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Harpster struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
