One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Garrett battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
