One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Gypsy battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
