One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Hepzibah battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
