One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Brandy Station struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
