One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Moran who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
