One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Lone Tree struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
