One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Mountain City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $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 which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
