One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Montfort who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per 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 can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
