One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Tony struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
