One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Mount Auburn battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
