One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Goodwin battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
