One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Somes Bar battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
