One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Lindon battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
