One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Cave Creek battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
