One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Wells struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, 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 prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
