One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in East Mountain battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
