One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Palmer battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
