One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Bonnerdale who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
