One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Williston who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 costs about $450 a 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. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
