One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Oxford who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
