One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Trout struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
