One of the out-patient rehab options for people in North Baltimore who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
