One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Doland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 /month.
