One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in White City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
