One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Greenback battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
