One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Basin battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug 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 more difficult 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
