One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Ronald struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
