One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Granite Falls who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a 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 opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
