One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Kenyon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
