One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Mc Donald battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
