One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Barnhart who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
