One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Dodson battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid 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 well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
