One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Savage who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
