One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Hanna who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
