One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Arvada who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used 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 shot, and that 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 monthly.
