One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Blum who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
