One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in South Wales battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
