One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Holliday who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
