One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Durango battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
