One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Tula battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 monthly. 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 opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
