One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Sunrise battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
