One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Portis battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
