One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Meadow Creek battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 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 opioids. A person taking 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
