One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Highland struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
