One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Darragh battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around 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 reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
