One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in North Liberty who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, 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 monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
