One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Windom battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
