One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Kernville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
