One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Young America struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
