One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Boyers struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
