One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Badger who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
