One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Riverton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
