One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Bloomer who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used 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 injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
