One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Borup struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
