One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Pride struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
