One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Springville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
