One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Varney battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
