One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Glen Ullin battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which 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 daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
