One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Seltzer who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks 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 too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
