One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Eagle Grove struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in 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 opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per 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 administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
