One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Power who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
