One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Coralville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
