One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Udall struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 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 that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
