One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Garden Plain who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
