One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Gladstone battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
