One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Phoenix struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
