One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Russell struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
