One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Faywood who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 a month.
