One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Fortuna who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in 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 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
