One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Lohn struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
