One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Gilbert struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
