One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Templeton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
