One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Darden who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
