One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Roslindale struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
