One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Moran battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
