One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mapleton Depot battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate 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, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
