One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Missouri Valley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
