One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Logan who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
