One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Blanket struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
