One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Canon City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
