One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Hospers who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a 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 well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
