One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Otway struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
