One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Rothschild who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's 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, it prevents someone 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 a month.
