One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Cibola struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
