One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Wonder Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
