One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Greenbank struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
