One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Barker who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
