One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Friant battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
