One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Forest Lake who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $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 administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
