One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Evergreen who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
