One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Sedgwick battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
