One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Canyon Dam who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
