One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Clovis battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
