One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Gill who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
