One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Iron Mountain Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
