One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Dana battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's 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, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
