One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Ashippun who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options 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 on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as 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 is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate 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, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
