One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Harper who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
