One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Flagstaff who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
