One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Rapid City who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
