One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Fabyan struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
