One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Hope who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
