One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Chateaugay battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
