One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Ivins who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
