One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Lost Creek battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price 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 different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 a month.
