One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Bynum battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per 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 opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
