One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Palouse struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $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 given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
