One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Harman struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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.
