One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Shasta Lake who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's 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, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
