One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Clancy battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
