One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Wheatland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
