One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Glenmont struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, 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 daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
