One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Milner struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily 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 unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is 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, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
