One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Fort Bragg battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered 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 clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly 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 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
