One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Arapaho struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
