One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Cortez struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
