One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Butte City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
