One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Park Rapids who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
