One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Santa battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
