One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Covel battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
