One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Morrison who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
