One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Norris battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
