One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Higden battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
