One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Orangevale who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
