One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Zwolle who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
