One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Melissa who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate 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 feeling 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.
