One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Adams Run battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
