One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Roosevelt who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
