One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Pinedale who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
