One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Charlack struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
