One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hometown who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 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 is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
