One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Wolftown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
