One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Tell battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
