One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Lemon Grove who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. 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 can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
