One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Nemo who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
