One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Koosharem battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
