One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Hillview who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per 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 is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
