One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Corrigan who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per 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 administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
