One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Smolan who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
