One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Burdick who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
