One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Mantoloking battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
