One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Burghill struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. 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 monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 /month.
