One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Jal battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price 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 medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
