One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Rio Verde struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, 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 version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
