One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Empire who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
