One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Waimea struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick 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 as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
