One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Vienna struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
