One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in El Verano who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
