One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Heth battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
