One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Porcupine struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
