One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Adair struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike 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 approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
