One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Clayton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
