One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mathias who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month 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 opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
