One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Novelty struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
