One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Waukau struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, 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 drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
