One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Sauk City battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, 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 dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
