One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Dexter struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
