One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Wakita struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
