One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Maquoketa who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
