One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Morse who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
