One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in King City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
