One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cedar Mountain who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
