One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Conrad who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
