One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Berne struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not 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 is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
