One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Circle Pines battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
