One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Wiota struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $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 that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
