One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Bee struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
