One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Sapphire who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
