One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Berlin who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug 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 unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
