One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Pullman battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a 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 is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
