One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Cosmos who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
