One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Nada struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
