One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Idaho City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
