One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Railroad battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately 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 unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
