One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Little Sioux struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
