One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Sibley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 monthly.
