One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Butternut battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $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 can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type 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, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
