One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Akin who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
