One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Dos Rios who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting 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.
