One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Baker struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
