One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Midfield struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
