One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Tunnel battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per 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 is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
