One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Fruitland who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
