One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Tomahawk who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
