One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Seaside struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
