One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Chestnut battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get 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 used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 a month.
