One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Farmington battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed 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 version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
