One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Penelope battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
