One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Tarrs struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
