One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Reubens who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
