One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Chanhassen who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form 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 price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
