One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Smallwood struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
