One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Barnhill struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 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. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
