One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Jeffrey City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
