One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Garner struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the client does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
