One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Alden who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
