One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Milan battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
