One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Danby battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
