One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Milan who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
