One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Belle Plaine battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
