One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Sharps Chapel who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
