One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Nenana who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
