One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Rapid River struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med 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 out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
