One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Wyndmere struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
