One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Buttzville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
