One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Pilot Hill struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
