One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Whites Creek battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
