One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Yuma struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured 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 of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 a month.
