One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Grabill battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med 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 different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
