One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Unity House struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
