One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Boomer struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill 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 dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
