One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cambria battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
