One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Wawaka who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
