One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Kersey battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned 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, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
