One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Red Cloud struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 per month.
