One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Wagener struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
