One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Toone who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
