One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Granger battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
