One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in New Melle struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
