One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Coon Rapids who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
