One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Sigel who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
