One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Kenneth who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's 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 being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
