One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Winn who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
