One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Pilottown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
