One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Grassflat who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
