One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Clarkfield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately 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 different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
