One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Iron battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid 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, it prevents an individual 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 a month.
