One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in East Orland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
