One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Ashley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
