One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Fayetteville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
