One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Wapella who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
