One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Spooner battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
