One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Geneva who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
