One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Twisp battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $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 opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
