One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Cleveland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken 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 drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
