One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Stockholm battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
