One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Stryker who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
