One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in New Eagle who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, 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 med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
