One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Serena battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
