One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Arnolds Park who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
