One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Humnoke who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe 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 choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
