One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Glenwood who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med 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 drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
