One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Merlin struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
