One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Rockwood struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting 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.
