One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Cissna Park battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
