One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in New Tripoli struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
