One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Mahnomen battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
