One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Robesonia struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
