One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Junction City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
