One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Granby who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
