One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Albers struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
