One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Bremen who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
