One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Troy battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
