One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Osage City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
