One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Hulett struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 monthly.
