One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Baker who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
