One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Parris Island struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. 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 daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
