One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Garvin struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
