One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Sand Creek who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
