One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Coachella battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that 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 different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
