One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Coloma struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
