One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Midway struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
