One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Starbuck battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
