One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Chavies who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
