One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Webster City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
