One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Orange Lake battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains 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 feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
