One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Grand View battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
