One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Round Mountain who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
