One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Dinuba battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole 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 on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $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 drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
