One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Berlin who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
