One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Mount Calm battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options 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 in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
