One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Yosemite battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
