One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Burnham battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
