One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Campo who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
