One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Listie battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken 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 drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
