One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ansley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. 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 well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 per month.
