One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Clay Center who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
