One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Gomer battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
