One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Doon battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
