One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Sharon Springs battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
