One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Oakman battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
