One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Kathleen who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
