One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Gridley who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
