One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Comstock battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, 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 type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
