One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Browndell battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
