One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Kulpsville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
