One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Reagan battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
