One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Minnie who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 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 highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
