One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Cazadero struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
