One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Kanab struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
