One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Loon Lake struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
