One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Aguilar battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
