One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Delano battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
