One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Isaban battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
