One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Flicksville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 monthly.
