One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Battlement Mesa struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks 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 too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 /month.
