One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mc Gill who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
