One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Wister who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
