One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Fort Meade struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
