One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Heber who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
