One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Crystal Falls who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
