One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Grantsville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured 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 of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
