One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Hays who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
