One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Teller struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned 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 /month.
