One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in San Ramon struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type 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 more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
