One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Shingleton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
