One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Hurley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
