One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Acampo struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
