One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rainbow City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
