One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Ochelata battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
