One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Montgomery battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
