One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Fremont who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate 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 highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
