One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Notre Dame who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
