One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Arcadia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
