One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in North Star battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per 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 administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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.
