One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Dundee struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about 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 is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
