One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Benet Lake battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
