One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Eden who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
