One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Woods Cross battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost 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 the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 per month.
