One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Macedonia who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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.
