One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Rio Oso who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
