One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Finland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used 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 shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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 a month.
