One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Arcadia who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
