One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Crystal Spring struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
