One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Tenakee Springs battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
