One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Bennett who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
