One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Fort Sumner battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $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 clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
