One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Kansas City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
