One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Tynan who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
