One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Sonora who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
