One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Stone Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
