One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in New Columbia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
