One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Des Moines battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
