One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Twin Lake battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
