One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Bolckow struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
