One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Solen struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
