One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Charleston AFB struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
