One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Zoe who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
