One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Pomerene battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
