One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in East Berlin struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
