One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Hyndman battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
