One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Elbow Lake who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
