One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bayview battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
