One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Maytown who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
