One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Tranquility who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
