One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in El Centro who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, 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 and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
