One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Afton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
