One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Nalcrest who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
