One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Warsaw battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version 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 more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
