One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Palms who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
