One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Angora battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that 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 approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
