One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Coleman battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
