One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bow struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
